  1. Universal Music accused of using fraudulent DMCA notices as a negotiating tactic in licensing music from other labels<\/a> – “This demonstrates the pervading mentality regarding copyright takedowns in entertainment companies: they’re handy tools for removing anything you don’t like from the Internet for an indefinite period, and there’s no penalty for perjuring yourself in your notices.” When there’s no accountability for actions, bad actors act badly.<\/li>\n
  2. Probiotics and “Science by Product Release”<\/a> – Ah, gamma testing. Not fun with technology, probably not fun with food, either.<\/li>\n
  3. A Sure-Fire Way To Win At Rock, Paper, Scissors<\/a><\/li>\n
  4. Just 19% Of Republican Voters Think Obama Would Go To Heaven If The Rapture Comes<\/a> – Not only is this poll pointless viz who’s best qualified to be President, but, theologically, anyone who answers anything other than “Not sure” for either subject is playing (so to speak) with fire. If you believe in such things, it’s not anyone’s business to be predicting who is or isn’t saved.<\/li>\n
  5. Suppressed report on raided file-sharing community reveals users as big-spending entertainment purchasers<\/a> – Not at all surprising.<\/li>\n
  6. Anti-Choicers Gear Up To Fight Guidelines on Preventive Care for Women | RH Reality Check<\/a> – ‘If those recommendations include, anywhere, the words “Women,” “Reproductive,” “Health,” and “Care,” alarm bells go off in the hallways of anti-choice group offices everywhere. And then the flood of lies begins.’<\/li>\n
  7. Republicans Should Listen To Robert Bork On Why Their Constitutional Amendment Is A Terrrible Idea<\/a> – I’m sure the GOP will ignore what Bork had to say on the subject, just as they ignore anything that any GOP idol said that doesn’t fit with current ideology and\/or party tactics.<\/li>\n
  8. Was Heavy Armor a Hindrance to Medieval European Battlers?<\/a> – Well, duh, any good armor encumbrance table in an RPG will tell you that!<\/li>\n
